Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 327 Ice Soul Divine Skill
Sun Yanwan spread dozens of pages on the ground, covered with various secret cultivation techniques. These techniques were deduced from his observation of the strange and fierce cold-type true energy within Duanmu Xianling and Yang Diao'er.

Duanmu Xianling, Lu Chaoxiu, Yang Diao'er, and Wuying Hou were also present, constantly offering various opinions.

The mental techniques that Sun Yanwan had previously deduced were quite ordinary, and she had clearly gone down the wrong path.

Now that the situation is critical, Sun Yanwan wants to find the flaws in the Ice Soul Divine Skill so that she can eliminate the master of the Crimson Snow Sword Sect. Therefore, she is no longer willing to hide it and lets everyone discuss the mental cultivation method that she has deduced.

Sun Yanwan said, "Unless you collect all the materials, there will definitely be major flaws in cultivating this Ice Soul Divine Art. Even if you collect all the materials, there may be serious aftereffects. I do not recommend that Miss Duanmu and Diao'er cultivate it."

Duanmu Xianling and Yang Diao'er both agreed with this point. Duanmu Xianling has been working hard to cultivate the Ice Silkworm Transformation recently. Although she is still affected from time to time, she has mastered the Ice Soul True Qi in her body and turned it into her own. Not only has she recovered her combat power, but it is even stronger than before.

However, with the change in the foundation of internal energy, the swordsmanship of the Wutai School also needs to be re-adjusted, and it will take some time before the martial arts can reach their peak.

She also sensed that if she were to be assimilated by the Ice Soul Divine Art, she would only have one choice: to collect all the Ice Soul True Qi. Otherwise, this divine art would always have a major flaw. Not to mention how difficult it would be to collect all the Qi, even if she did collect all the Qi, she didn't know what unpredictable consequences would occur.

The Ice Silkworm Transformation is, after all, the supreme martial art of the Great Snow Mountain, so its foundation is absolutely solid, and it can at least be cultivated to the level of a Grandmaster.

Even reaching the Grandmaster realm is not without hope; at least it is no less powerful than the inner cultivation techniques of the Wutai Sect.

Yang Diao'er had been cultivating the Xuanming Yinsha Gong since childhood and did not want to change her power. Although the Ice Soul Divine Skill was extremely powerful, it was always forcibly transferred to her by someone else, not cultivated by herself. In the future, when she tried to reach a higher realm, it would only become a hindrance.

Sun Yanwan said, "Even so, we still need to make preparations. In case we can't refine this wisp of Ice Soul True Qi and it remains like a leech, we should at least have a mental cultivation method to harmonize and suppress it. Using our own power to suppress it would be too risky."

"We only obtained three portions of Ice Soul True Qi. I have barely managed to complete the cultivation method, so it is certainly not comprehensive and there are probably many loopholes. We can all brainstorm together."

Sun Yanwan possessed two extraordinary cold-based martial arts techniques, the Mysterious Ice Mirror and the Ice Silkworm Transformation, while Yang Diao'er also had the Mysterious Dark Yin Fiend Technique. Therefore, he believed that the Ice Soul Divine Art, once perfected, was at least 70-80% as original. However, in martial arts, even the slightest difference can lead to vastly different outcomes, and Sun Yanwan dared not allow Yang Diao'er to cultivate this martial art, which had so many flaws.

Wuying Hou offered some suggestions, and Duanmu Xianling also made a few comments. Only Lu Chaoxiu remained silent. This most talented woman in the world suddenly felt that her brain was not working properly.

Sun Yanwan actually deduced the cultivation method simply by sensing the flow of true qi in Duanmu Xianling and Yang Diao'er's bodies. Not only that, he also completed a part of it. What talent is this?
In any case, Lu Chaoxiu thought to herself that among all the people she had ever met, none of them could do this.

She also keenly noticed that, like Duanmu Xianling, she was extremely shocked, but Wuying Hou and Yang Diao'er showed no surprise whatsoever. Clearly, this wasn't the first time Sun Yanwan had done something like this; how could this be?

Creating one's own martial arts is not unusual. The story of Sun Yanwan creating the Immortal Hammer and the Human Immortal Fist has been widely circulated in the martial arts world for a long time. However, when this news reached the Wuxiang Sword Pavilion, both the elders and fellow disciples believed that Zhang Yuanqiao had created the martial arts and attached them to his disciple in order to make his disciple famous.

Wuying Hou is a master of a school who created the Wuying Sword Technique. If Sun Yanwan doesn't have real skills, she won't be able to gain the trust of this veteran master.

Sun Yanwan continuously gathered ideas from all sides, compiled various opinions, and revised the Ice Soul Divine Skill. Within a day, she updated it to three major versions, and listed seven or eight solutions for many questionable aspects, noting the advantages and disadvantages of each solution.

This method of creating martial arts was unprecedented and unheard of by everyone. Even Wuying Hou, who had studied martial arts with Sun Yanwan, had never seen Sun Yanwan so serious. He thought to himself, "Last time when the three of us studied martial arts together, I felt that this kid had extraordinary talent. I didn't expect that he was holding back at that time."

"Not only did they not reveal the secrets of the supernatural staff technique, they may have hidden other things as well."

"Could there be some place where he knows about my Heavenly Shadowless Demon but hasn't told me?"

Wuyinghou even pulled Sun Yanwan aside for a private chat. Sun Yanwan tried her best to reassure him, insisting that there was absolutely no back door left behind. However, this only made Wuyinghou more anxious instead of dispelling his doubts.

Because it was the first time he had ever encountered what a "backdoor" was.

He used to think that martial arts were just martial arts, at most leading to qi deviation...

He now discovers that martial arts are quite complex.

Sun Yanwan felt mentally exhausted.

For the next few days, the group spent their time deducing the cultivation technique. After the Ice Soul Divine Art was updated to version 15, even Sun Yanwan couldn't keep up. Before acquiring any new information, he felt that there was no room for further progress in his deductions at the current level.

However, when he was deducing the Ice Soul Divine Art, he had a side effect. He unintentionally deduced a cold-type palm technique that was very easy to master quickly, which he named the Five Poisons Yin Fiend Hand. Although its upper limit was only three levels and it could only be cultivated to the seventh grade at most, it could be mastered in two or three years by taking poison.

Generally speaking, it takes a sixth-grade realm to cultivate a special palm technique, but this kind of palm technique that combines poison and cold techniques can be quickly mastered. A seventh-grade realm cultivator can even compete with others in palm techniques and may not necessarily suffer a loss.

Sun Yanwan plans to include it in the second volume of the Sun Family Martial Arts Manual and then give it to the Tianma Gang members to practice. It can be considered a low-level trump card.

Sun Yanwan had everyone make a copy, and just as they paused their efforts to create merit, the monk Wunian from Tianlong Temple came to visit.

The external martial arts master looked grief-stricken. Upon seeing Sun Yanwan, he clasped his hands together, chanted a Buddhist prayer, and asked, "Where are my disciple's remains?"

Sun Yanwan personally led this Tianlongmen grandmaster to a place to lay the body. Some martial arts figures with no background or sect were buried as soon as their remains were found, but for those with a background, the Tianma Gang purchased high-quality coffins and properly stored them.

Yes, it was placed in the Taoist temple that Sun Yanwan was temporarily using.

When Monk Wunian saw his disciple, tears streamed down his face. He was not like Zhang Yuanqiao, who had painstakingly cultivated a Xiantian realm cultivator. It was no easy feat, and he had been counting on this disciple to take over Tianlong Temple and bring glory to the sect. Who would have thought that he would die at Yanchi Lake?

The monk Wunian was overwhelmed with grief. Despite his years of meditation practice, he couldn't stop the tears from streaming down his face, repeatedly muttering, "Master shouldn't have let you explore the Golden Light Cave, Master shouldn't have let you come..."
